AquaHalt

Natural pyrethrin has a fit in many mosquito control programs. Yet traditional oil-based formulations of pyrethrin have shown they can be inconsistent in performance. Formulated with Droplet Optimization Technology, or DOT, AquaHalt™ delivers natural pyrethrin in a colloidal suspension for optimal stability and protection from evaporation within the droplet. The result: consistent performance by both ground and air.

Droplet Optimization Technology (DOT)+

DROPLET OPTIMIZATION TECHNOLOGY (DOT) ENHANCES EFFICACY

Droplet Optimization Technology provides optimal stability for AquaHalt’s™ active ingredient particles and protects them from evaporation within the droplet. As a result, a more concentrated, more effective droplet is delivered. This consistent performance results in higher kill rates.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICITY

In Sunlight

An important, well-documented characteristic of pyrethrins are that they are photolabile. The molecules easily decompose in the presence of sunlight. The half-life of pyrethrins in the presence of light range from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the position of the radiolabel. The degradation products of pyrethrins are also nonpersistent. Microbial degradation of pyrethrins in aerobic soil have a half life of 10.5 days

In Soil and Water

Pyrethrins are not readily transported from the site of application.Very little movement of pyrethrins and their degradation products from soil into plants or through soil columns

were observed using radiolabeled material. Pyrethrins do not bioaccumulate and are subject to both oxidation and cleavage of their ester linkage in biological systems.

On Nontarget Species

Studies found the oral LD50 of >2000 mg/kg body weight for bobwhite quail and mallard ducks. The LC50 was >5500 ppm of diet for the bobwhite quail and mallard duck. The 96 hour acute flow through LC50 for Bluegills and Rainbow Trout are 10μg and 5.2μg total pyrethrins/liter, respectively.
